Dale better as to throat and fever, but neck all swollen in back due I think to a “stunt” Guy had them try in which the leaders of his neck were strained. Got coke in that left a film of black all over my clean house and the boys get all dirty after playing inside any time.

(I wonder what Uncle Guy had them try that stretched Dale's neck so that it would be swollen?

And I can't imagine having black soot all over the inside of my house. I think I'd try to figure out what was going on with the furnace.)

  2. Carol, thank you for your nice comment on my blog. You mentioned finding mine through a friend. I believe that was probably Nan? I, too, had discovered your blog through hers. My own grandmothers were so special to me and I'm always delighted to find grandmother writings. I look forward to reading your archives and should have time to do so in the quiet and solitude of January. I do love that month!

  3. I'm so glad you commented on my site yesterday, because it led me to yours, which is fascinating. I'm trying to start reading at the beginning, so it will take me a while to catch up to "today," but I'm enjoying it tremendously.
